Al Robbins quotes from CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

Dr. Robbins

I love this table.

Dr. Robbins

Alright David, take two.

Doc Robbins

Childhood keeps getting shorter and shorter... you know why that is?

Dr. Robbins

Husband claims she's a biter, fine line between pleasure and pain, but who doesn't like to cross it every once in a while right? [Grissom looks shocked at him]

Doc. Robbins

[to Catherine]: When was the last time you took a nap in Grissom's tub?

Doc Robbins

I was never going to be Fred Astaire.

Robbins

You know, it's not how you come into this world that counts, it's how you live it.

Sara

Any idea how long she's been dead?

Doc Robbins

The elements really got to her. Grissom and his insects are going to have to figure that one out. (Doc Robbins turns around and sees Grissom picking up a bug from the body) Have we lost you, Grissom?

Grissom

" The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out, the worms play pinochle on your snout."

Sara

Shakespeare again?

Grissom

An old nursery rhyme.

Doc Robbins

A very special insect, Dr. Seuss?

Catherine

You're going to enter this as a homicide, right?

Doc Robbins

Technically, it's somewhere between accidental and undetermined.

Catherine

It's a homicide. I'm going to get your proof. So write down that "accidental" in pencil.

Robbins

Glad I'm a dog person.

Grissom

You know, house cats have only been domesticated for 4,000 years. They still have predatory instincts.

Catherine

Only 4,000?

Grissom

Yeah.

Dr. Robbins

Educated guess: Beautification. She was injected with pig botulism. Botox ... the ultimate wrinkle cream.

Grissom

How did it get into her bloodstream?

Dr. Robbins

Bad doctor. Missed the muscle. Shot directly into her supratrochlear vein.

Grissom

Amazing the advances we make in science and the primitive uses we find for them.

Grissom

Okay, Doc, tell me something I don't know.

Dr. Robbins

Okay. In fourth grade, I dropped out of karate class because a kid half my size made me cry.

Grissom

About the body.

Catherine

Heard you got to be superhero today.

Doc Robbins

I consider myself a superhero every day.

Doc Robbins

Second degree midline episiotomy scar.

Catherine

Well, that narrows it down to more than half the women in this country who gave birth.

Doc Robbins

But there might be one other thing. At first I thought appendectomy, but check out her x-ray. She's had surgery. Some kind of implant at the L4-L5 interspace. I'll know more when I open her up.

Catherine

You're my hero, Al.

Doc Robbins

An artificial spinal disc. If you can recreate a spine the possibilities are endless.

Catherine

I thought, uh, disc replacement surgery involved fusing bone to bone.

Doc Robbins

Eh, typically, but it can limit mobility. With that little disc, your body doesn't know the difference. Matches range of motion, flexibility and an axial rotation of a normal spine. Still in clinical trials. Less than a thousand surgeries have been performed in this country.

Catherine

Oh, well, I like those odds.

Doc Robbins

You'll like this even better. Medium endplate, size 12, polyethylene component and a six-degree lordosis angle. Narrowed it down to one. Amy Ennis. Austin, Texas.

Catherine

Tourist?
